Rain Pain

This is something that everyone loves

I absolutely enjoy moments in the rain

But at times it puts an halt to all my plans

Ruining everything, causing me terrible pain

I love the sweet smell of the petrichor

And the cold breeze that comes with it

But when you are living in a city like mine

Traffic is the first thing to get hit

I love the memories that come with rain

Causing me to smile, and at times to cry

The thing that I hate the most about rains

Is that the washed clothes never dry

The mild drizzle is a pleasure to watch

I love the sound of pitter patter on my window pane

But once done it is so difficult to step out

Due to the umpteen tiny pools in the lane

The air around feels so cool and nice

The perfect time for some hot coffee dash

But when you decide to take a stroll down the street

Someone is bound to spray you with a muddy splash

I love the chirping of birds during monsoon

They sound so happy, fresh and gay

With rains also come the dreaded power cut

Forcing you to have a dark day

The rainbow is a boon after the rains

Standing strong and pretty with all its hues

The reason why I get angry with the pour

Is that it spoils my precious shoes

Inspite of all the cons, they are wonderful

Nothing can beat the serenity of rain

Even though it can cause trouble at times

It also has the magic of healing the pain
